You better be Giving the USA the Block 3 FA/18 for this Reason

The American F-15A in game is an F-15A MSIP.... Not from 1976, but from 1983.
The American F-15E was under construction in 1985... But was introduced later, in 1988.
The Japanese F-15J is not the initial version introduced in 1981. The skin that the 15J wears belongs to 204th Squadron, which only started to have 15J's in 1984.

The F-15C/Early would be very similar to MSIP F-15A. Yes, the C can fire AIM-120's, but, so can the Gripen-C, and AV-8+ (Which, currently don't have that ability in game, neither ... Read more

Matching vehicles based purely off of some kind of introductory/testing date would cause many issues.

By-date match making has been discussed at length in virtually any historic-matchmaking thread.

Introducing War Thunder’s New Event Cycle

Post


We’ve got some news to share with you. From now on, we’ll be using a brand-new event cycle where events will start almost consecutively and will (wherever possible) be tied to real-life events.

In addition to this, each event — except the Winter event and some cosmetic only events — will only have one vehicle dedicated to them. Every event will last on average 12-18 days, where when it finishes, there’ll be a small pause of a few days until the next one begins.

The first event in this new cycle is due to start very soon — keep an eye out for all of the details surrounding this on January 25th.

Since each event will only have one vehicle, today we’re announcing the first three: the first event will have a Tank as the main reward, the event after will have an Aircraft as the main reward, and the event after a Naval Vessel, where eve... Read more

Tank with the best interior survivability in the game? (Low BR and High BR)

Comment
    Blitzkrieg Wulf on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
As above. To my experience, there aren't any tanks that have reliable survivability. You can tilt the odds in your favor of being able to take a hit, but you cannot guarantee anything. The best thing you can do is estimate how many rounds you plan to fire on a map, and take that many. I've seen a lot of people take a full ammunition load and had slim to no chance of being able to take a single penetrating hit.

"The best guaranteed survivability is simply not getting shot at" aside... If you know you're going to take a hit, and it's probably/certainly going to penetrate, try to put as much as you can between where the shot is coming from, and where your crew is. For things like this (circumstantially) I would say vehicles like the STRV 103, Merkava's, and "tanks driven in reverse" like the IS-2's and TOG have better-but-not-perfect survivability. There are quite a few US tanks that seem to have a large transmission in the front of the hull that can soak up a lot of hits-... Read more
